CLI - This example configures area 0.0.0.1 as a normal area, area 0.0.0.2 as a
stub, and area 0.0.0.3 as an NSSA. It also configures the router to propagate a
default summary route into the stub and sets the cost for this default route to 10.
6.20.10.3 Configuring Area Ranges (Route Summarization for ABRs)
An OSPF area can include a large number of nodes. If the Area Border Router
(ABR) has to advertise route information for each of these nodes, this wastes a
lot of bandwidth and processor time. Instead, configure an ABR to advertise a
single summary route that covers all the individual networks within its area.
When using route summaries, local changes do not have to be propagated to
other area routers. This allows OSPF to be easily scaled for larger networks, and
provides a more stable network topology.
